DVI
Digital Visual Interface is a display interface developed in response to the proliferation of digital flat panel displays.
The digital video connectivity standard that was developed by DDWG (Digital Display Work Group). This connection
standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins that handles digital video signals only, and one with 29 pins
that handles both digital and analog video. This standard uses TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signal) from
Silicon Image and DDC (Display Data Channel) from VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association).
DVI can be single or dual link.

Principle drawing use of audio pré-amp module
The Solaris audio module must be mounted between the audio source (DVD player, video source,...) and the audio destination
(audio amplifier, active speakers ...). In this configuration, the user can control both video and audio parameters from one place (the
Solaris OSD menu or any other control device attached to the Solaris s
erial port).
This module is NOT an audio amplifier.
